Abstract

Abstract Reservoir description is an important step in oilfield development. Before mining, using various technical means to analyze and study oilfield structure can achieve the purpose of fully understanding the reservoir and provide theoretical basis for reservoir development. In this exploration, the background of description of complex fault block reservoir geology is analyzed, and X35 reservoir is selected as the research object to study the regional geological reservoir. By analyzing the fault distribution characteristics of X35 reservoir, the reservoir strata are divided. The three-dimensional (3D) geological model of the reservoir is established by using the method of facies-controlled modeling and numerical simulation. Finally, the 3D geological model is tested. The results show that the model has high accuracy and reflects the distribution of X35 reservoir, which has a certain guiding significance for the exploration and effective development of the remaining oil in the reservoirs distributed in this area.
